Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1
MENTAL ILLNESSES ARE MORE COMMON IN THE UNITED STATES THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK AND HAPPEN TO PEOPLE REGARDLESS OR ECONOMIC STATUS, GENDER, AGE, RACE, OR BACKGROUND. ONE IN 17 AMERICANS HAS A SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH ALSO IDENTIFIES THESE ILLNESSES AS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES. GUILD INCORPORATED EXISTS TO HELP INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH THESE SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESSES COUNTER THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF POOR PHYSICAL HEALTH, CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, EXTREME POVERTY AND OTHER HEALTH AND SOCIAL COMPLEXITIES THAT ARE OFTEN EXPERIENCED; SEEING STRENGTHS, CREATING OPTIONS, AND RESTORING HEALTH, ALL TOWARD THE GOAL OF HELPING PEOPLE LEAD QUALITY LIVES. SERVICES ARE SUCCESSFUL WHEN THOSE SERVED: LIVE IN SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS IS PREVENTED; MAINTAIN THEIR OPTIMAL PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH; FIND SUITABLE EMPLOYMENT OR PURSUE EDUCATION; HAVE RECREATION AND SOCIALIZING OPPORTUNITIES; AND, REPORT A SENSE OF SATISFACTION WITH THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A
INTEGRATED & INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT, AND CARE COORDINATION SERVICES HELP INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESSES OF A SERIOUS NATURE GAIN ACCESS TO MEDICAL, SOCIAL, EDUCATION, VOCATIONAL, FINANCIAL, AND OTHER NECESSARY SERVICES RELATED TO INDIVIDUALS' MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH NEEDS. STABILITY IN HOUSING, OPTIMAL HEALTH, AND CONNECTIONS TO ONE'S COMMUNITY ARE THE DESIRED RESULTS OF THESE SERVICES. ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT (ACT), AN INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT SERVICE, HELPS INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY WHO EXPERIENCE SEVERE, HARD TO MANAGE SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL ILLNESS. THE GOAL OF ACT IS TO DECREASE OR PREVENT RECURRING ACUTE EPISODES OF ILLNESS. OVER HALF OF GUILD INCORPORATED'S WORK IS IN THE COMMUNITY TREATMENT SERVICES AREA. KNOWN AS A "HOSPITAL WITHOUT WALLS" MODEL, THE SERVICES ARE MOBILE, DELIVERED WHERE NEEDED, MOST OFTEN IN INDIVIDUALS' HOMES, USING A TEAM-BASED MODEL. IN 2013, 1,308 INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED COMMUNITY TREATMENT SERVICES. ON DECEMBER 31, 2013, 75 PERCENT OF INDIVIDUALS SERVED WERE LIVING IN THEIR OWN HOME AND MAINTAINED STABLE HOUSING (AS MEASURED BY THE HOUSING MOVEMENT TABLE ADMINISTERED DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS OF 2013). COLLABORATIONS WITH TWO HEALTH PLANS, IMPLEMENTED IN 2012, ENHANCE THE ORGANIZATION'S ABILITY TO COORDINATE AND ASSURE CARE FOR BOTH MEDICAL CONDITIONS SUCH AS HYPERTENSION AND DIABETES AND MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND HELP ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS SERVED GET THE TREATMENT THEY NEED FOR THEIR MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AS THE LIFE-SPAN FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS IS SHORTENED BY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, LARGELY DUE TO TREATABLE MEDICAL CONDITIONS. A RECORD NUMBER OF PEOPLE (OUTSIDE THE USUAL REFERRAL SOURCES) CALLED GUILD DIRECTLY FOR HELP. IN 2013, GUILD'S RESOURCE NAVIGATOR RESPONDED TO 546 CALLS WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY, A TWENTY-TWO PERCENT INCREASE OVER 2012. KNOWN AS COMMUNITY ACCESS, THE RESOURCE NAVIGATOR ADDRESSES IMMEDIATE NEEDS, IDENTIFIES APPROPRIATE OPTIONS, AND HELPS TO SECURE ONGOING SERVICES.

RESIDENTIAL SERVICES: CRISIS STABILIZATION RESIDENTIAL SERVICES (MAUREEN G.

IN 2013, 187 INDIVIDUALS ACCOUNTED FOR 243 ADMISSIONS TO THE 4-BED CRISIS STABILIZATION SERVICES. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY WAS 7 DAYS. EIGHTY-SEVEN PERCENT (88/101) OF INDIVIDUALS, LEAVING THEIR HOME TO BE ADMITTED FOR SERVICES, STABILIZED THEIR SITUATION WITHOUT HOSPITALIZATION FOR PSYCHIATRIC CARE. SEVENTY INDIVIDUALS WERE SERVED IN THE 9-BED INTENSIVE RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SERVICES PROGRAM, WITH AN AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY OF 55 DAYS. SIX INDIVIDUALS WERE SERVED BY RICK'S HOUSE IN 2013. TWO INDIVIDUALS MOVED TO OTHER LIVING SETTINGS DURING THE YEAR.

IT PROVIDES 13 UNITS OF PERMANENT, SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS WHO HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING THEIR HOUSING; AND FEATURES EASY ACCESS TO THINGS LIKE NURSING AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT. FIFTEEN INDIVIDUALS BENEFITTED FROM THIS HOUSING IN 2013.

WILDER RESEARCH IS CONDUCTING THE ON-GOING EVALUATION OF THIS INITIATIVE AND PUBLISHED THE THIRD OUTCOMES REPORT IN DECEMBER 2012. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT USE HAS CONSISTENTLY DECREASED OVER TIME (81% DECLINE IN 2 YEARS). CLINIC USE HAS DECREASED AND REBOUNDED OVERALL, WHILE VARYING FOR INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS BASED ON THEIR HEALTH NEEDS. PARTICIPANTS ACCESSED MEDICATIONS MORE CONSISTENTLY AFTER ENROLLMENT, INCLUDING STABILIZING THE NUMBER OF PHARMACY CLAIMS OVERALL AND ACCESSING MORE OF THE SAME MEDICATIONS REPEATEDLY. DESPITE LONG HISTORIES OF HOMELESSNESS, ALL PARTICIPANTS MOVED INTO STABLE HOUSING WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF ENROLLMENT IN THE INITIATIVE. THIS INITIATIVE WAS EXPANDED IN 2013, AND THE NEXT CLIENT OUTCOME REPORT WILL BE PUBLISHED BY WILDER RESEARCH IN FEBRUARY OF 2015. THE INITIATIVE WAS ALSO FEATURED IN THE "WHAT WORKS IN MINNESOTA" SHOWCASE EVENT HELD IN NOVEMBER, 2013. A NEW SUPPORTIVE HOUSING INITIATIVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DAKOTA COUNTY COMMUNITY SERVICES WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2012 AND EXPANDED IN 2013. THIRTY FORMERLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS ARE NOW HOUSED AND HAVE ACCESS TO ON-GOING HOUSING SUPPORTS TO AID IN MAINTAINING STABLE HOUSING.
